Adventure Time - Science Good - Ben Rosenthal



1.  Finn is standing with Jake and Princess Bubblegum.  She is in her scientist coat with goggles on.  She is talking to Finn and Jake, instructing them to be cautious around her new invention.  Finn and Jake are too busy staring at the invention (off panel) – their eyes bulging, drool coming from their mouths and limbs limp.  They really, REALLY want to get their hands on the Princess’ new invention.

PRINCESS BUBBLEGUM
This is a very sophisticated piece of science.  Don’t.  Touch. It.

FINN
Soooo…pretty….

JAKE
I want to marry science.


2.  Reveal of a giant robot-mech-dinosaur.  This is what Princess Bubblegum has built.  We can see the three standing at the base of the machine.  Finn is transfixed on it – he just needs to touch it.

PRINCESS BUBBLEGUM
I mean it Finn!  It’s not finished yet.

JAKE
Then why show it to us now?

PRINCESS BUBBLEGUM
Because reasons.

FINN
Precious…..


3.  Princess Bubblegum is being stern now.  Jake is saluting her, snapping to attention.

PRINCESS BUBBLEGUM
FINN!

FINN
Don’t worry Princess.  You can count on us!

JAKE
Absatively!


4.  Out in the open of a grassy field.  There has clearly been a small time jump.  Finn is in the Robot Dinosaur Mecha, with a look of pure joy on his face.  He is controlling the Mecha which is wrestling Jake who has made himself as big as the MechaSaur.    He too is having the time for his life.

CAPTION
Five minutes and thirty four seconds later….

  1. Firstly I am super pleased to see the return of the Robot Dinosaur Mecha from SCW. :D Not quite the same without El Puno riding him.

    Secondly like Grant you nail the tone bang on. I had a feeling you'd knock it out of the park with this pick, the comedy/action adventure nature of Adventure time seemed right in your wheel house. I wasn't wrong.

    The page is bold, sweet, lighthearted and with core of just unfiltered fun.
